1919 – G. Skidmore

4 December 2022

1362 E. 28th Street

Every now and then I get a better look at a mark I passed by, and I decide it’s decipherable after all. A resident pointed this one out to me recently, and I decided after feeling it with my fingers that yes, this is from 1919.

Grant Skidmore left a few marks in Oakland, all from the 1910s decade.

I’ve found another 1919 mark from Fred Austin, but the date on that one is underneath.

1919 – C. Hubmann & Co.

When I shot this, I thought I was documenting a 1918 mark, but then I got home and saw the real date at the bottom.

This lovely street runs up the crest of southern Haddon Hill and offers nice lake views.

1919 – J. Fugel

1434 38th Avenue

When the sun is low at this time of year, some subtle marks emerge. I think that this is a mark by J. Fugel, although P. Fugel and J.P. Fugel can’t be ruled out.

3232 Elmwood Avenue

This instance of the 1919 Catucci mark will surely survive longer than the previous one I showed.
